Eddie,

Just a thought, If the job is not very large, it is not cost effective to use a pressure washer,

try mixing a duluted mixture of bleach and baby shampoo,  However you can reach the

panels best is up to you.  I have a garden sprayer with a little 60psi pump on it.  The

tank is 10 gallons.  Mix 8 gallons of water 2 gallons of household bleach and 1bottle

of baby shampoo.  Get 100 feet of vinal tubing and run it up your extention pole and

attach some sort of spray head to it.  The bleach kills the algea and the baby shampoo

helps it stick to the surface longer and not create runs. Baby shampoo also doesnt

have ammonia in it.  You can watch the algea disappear, then use a swivel scrubber

and rinse with a water hose and scrub and rinse the windows clean. 

You dont have to use this set up you could just use a mixture of bleach and baby

shampoo and apply it with a brush.  As long and you scrub the bleach loose from

the glass and rinse it thoughly it will look great.  Just a thought.

Subject: [World] ALGAE REMOVAL

Hi Group,

Can anyone advise me the correct detergent and method for removing the green algae from conservatory roofs of some new residential work I've just acquired, they all have conservatories and all covered with this algae.

I do not want to scratch these semi/clear roof panels so any good advice would be appreciated.

All the panels are triangular and finish to a point approx 3 to 4 metres long making them difficult to use a stripwasher and squeegee where they narrow to a point.

 

Regards

Eddie
